1. Remember?
What sunk Goldwater....among other things of course....was his famous statement which I believe the GOP stands by to this day:

"EXTREMEISM IN PURSUIT OF LIBERTY IS NO VICE

and

MODERATION IN PURSUIT OF JUSTICE IS NO VIRTUE
"

I think the SOBs still believe that....

2. I think you're exactly right.
The GOP believes that *anything* they choose to do is justified, as long as it furthers their agenda.

One of their favorites phrases is "History will prove me right". The end result is all that matters.

6. They apparently want us to be just like Iraq, or Russia, other countries where
judges have to bail out of hearing cases because they're afraid the thugs on trial will have them killed.

I'm absolutely NOT criticizing that judge; it's just a crying shame that things have come to this pass in this country that used to be America.

3. There are many terrorists and as you say not all can be construed as being
Muslims.

I think terrorism needs a new defination in today's world of American political voice machines.

4. I believe that Judge McAuliffe
is the widower of teacher/astronaut Christa McAuliffe.

5. If you saw or heard any of the wingnuts Saturday..
I listened to some of their speeches and one of them said that they are fighting two wars, over there and here and that they would be kicking some left wing ass. Aren't these the same left wing asses they expect to help them fight their wars? Something is missing in their brains if they seriously think that all of the troops are Republicons..
